How do you like your pizza? Thick crust, thin? Lot's of sauce, extra cheese? Toppings piled high, or do you like them basic? I say, depends on who you are ordering with!!
A thin crust is great, if made correctly. It requires attention to detail because it becomes fragile if too much heat is placed on it. A pan crust is thicker and stands up to the heat better. It is harder to break. It is thicker, spongier and soaks up the sauce! Depending on who you are ordering with your crust may not stand up to a higher heat. If you put too much pressure on it, it may break. Then again it may stand up to the heat and welcome a challenge because it knows it can weather that storm! I prefer a thick crust, but if the person I am ordering with wants to keep it thin, then I am one to oblige.
Do you go light on the sauce and the cheese? Do you feel like the basis of your pizza is the least important part? The sauce creates a layer for all of your toppings to stick to. This is something, like the crust that both people ordering must be in agreement about. You can't 1/2 and 1/2 the sauce types. Once it is spread out over that crust you are stuck with it. I like my sauce very thick, but not too spicy. Too much spice makes me not want pizza anymore!
So hopefully by know you have caught on to my little story. Interactions between people, friends, family, significant others, have always fascinated me. These relationships are always so different, yet never the same for each person. Some relationships have a thin crust. One bite into that pizza and it breaks up. If you chose wisely and opted for extra sauce and maybe some extra cheese, also known as effort and compassion, then it can hold that crust together for a while. Long enough for another bite usually, but it won't last if that sauce has to do all the work. That thicker pan crust can handle the chomps, it can stand up to it because it is more flexible. More willing to bend and handle the pressure. It also absorbs the sauce and makes it a part of itself. Your foundation is now built with flexibility effort and compassion. This is an unbreakable bond, well, for pizza anyways!
Not everyone likes the same toppings on their pizza. Why should they? There are so many options out there! If you are new to making pizzas or never really cared to learn before now you may want to pile your pizza high with everything to decide what you like. Do you like olives? No? Toss em off! Onions? Yes? Sweet, keep em on!! And so on and so forth. Each person can top their half of the pizza with virtually anything they want, but there is always a chance of some overlap, so what are you not willing to let the other person put on your pizza, just in case it travels over to your half? Sometimes it may take a while to decide what you like on your pizza and figure out how to merge two tastes onto one pizza, but in the end if both people are full and happy then your pizza is perfect!!
